The X post from @DragBasee (a popular drag news account) announces that **Meannie Minaj**, a contestant from **Drag Race Thailand Season 1** (who was the first eliminated, making her a "porkchop queen"), has officially rebranded and will now go by **Meannie B**.


The attached photo shows her in a stunning new look: a dramatic long yellow-blonde wig, bold makeup, and a black outfit with sparkling crystal details.


This name change appears to stem from ongoing discussions around her original drag name, which was inspired by Nicki Minaj (she was known as the "Nicki Minaj of Thailand" and did impersonations). Recent controversies involving Nicki Minaj may have influenced the decision to drop the reference.


The post went viral quickly, garnering over 24k likes, 450k views, and plenty of shady, humorous replies typical of the drag community:


- Jokes like "Girl just call yourself Meannie period" (a playful Cardi B reference, implying a rival energy shift).

- "She got eliminated 1st episode. We don’t care fr. 😂"

- "Be a boy" (classic drag fan shade).

- Some noting facial similarities to RuPaul's Drag Race legend Raven.


For comparison, here are older photos of her as Meannie Minaj:


The drag fandom is loving the drama and the glow-up!
